I'm afraid I can't solve your problem but the following information might be useful: - the actual data of things you see You make some claims on things you see, but you don't show the actual data. - output of the boot loader's 'probing' line The boot loader prints something like: Loading... probing: pc0 com0 ... mem[... a20=on] If I'm not mistaken the mem[... a20=on] part shows the sizes of the memory blocks detected by querying the BIOS. Adding up these sizes should give an idea of how much memory is reported to the OS by the BIOS. - output of 'dmesg |grep mem' Something like: real mem = ??? (???MB) avail mem = ??? (???MB) spdmem0 at iic0 addr 0x50: ??? This should give an idea of how much memory the OS is actually using. It may also print spdmem entries giving an idea of what memory is physically installed/detected.
